The Kind of Man

If I speak in words like angels Or climb the highest peak Fight for fame, build my name So the world remembers me It'll fade like stars at morning A whisper in a crowd It will all dissolve to nothing If that's what my life's about So I pray, I pray Lord, make me a man who loves his kids and loves his wife Lord, make me a man who always stands for what is right Who's strong enough to fight a war By falling to his knees 'Cause that's the kind of man That's the kind of man I want to be Slow to speak and quick to listen Doesn't fear and doesn't boast Full of faith, full of joy Always holding on to hope Faithful through the darkness Even when the night is long Knowing in my weakness Is where You show You're strong Lord, make me a man who loves his kids and loves his wife Lord, make me a man who always stands for what is right Who's strong enough to fight a war By falling to his knees 'Cause that's the kind of man That's the kind of man I want to be That's the kind of man I want to be When my life is over And I cross the crystal sea Let the ones I leave behind say They saw You in me Lord, make me a man who loves his kids and loves his wife Lord, make me a man who always stands for what is right Who's strong enough to fight a war By falling to his knees 'Cause that's the kind of man That's the kind of man I want to be That's the kind of man I want to be
